MacOS is a case-insensitive unix, and it seems to work fine. A few years ago I made the mistake of formatting my Mac to use a case-sensitive filesystem, and it turned out to be a huge mistake. My thought process was "I want full compat

Has this paper from 2015 been replicated or otherwise followed up since? I tried a quick google search but all I found seemed to be referencing this one study.

I still don't understand what I'm supposed to use instead, as a consumer. Are Google users just not allowed to IM each other anymore? We have to switch to Google's Slack clone?
